No team in the country that I would like to beat more than The Ohio State University !!
I lived out in the boonies at that time and I ran out into my backyard screaming and yelling. My brother and all my friends were ND fans, so it was extra special.Haha. I still remember my mom losing her mind when Penn State beat ND in 1990. She actually ran out of the house cheering.
It won’t happen, but if OSU lost to us and Michigan they could miss playoffs, that would be fun.No team in the country that I would like to beat more than The Ohio State University !!
Be positive grasshopper.A Franklin coached team would immediately surrender a TD to open the 3rd. Maybe they play harder for Smith but we still have the Knowles factor to screw it all up.
We're not #2 and undefeated that is why.It’s an effing miracle they upheld it. I’m shocked.
What the hell are you talking about? This is the game day thread.Be positive grasshopper.
The defense has to stop the passIf Grunk settles down and pass accurately, we can win this.
The refs and big 2 won’t let that happenIt won’t happen, but if OSU lost to us and Michigan they could miss playoffs, that would be fun.
Seriously. I was ready for '79 Bama Sugar Bowl all over.Scoring from the 1 yard line vs OSU is a victory in itself. Weren’t we like 0-11 on last 11 plays from OSU 1?
They're still in at 10-2It won’t happen, but if OSU lost to us and Michigan they could miss playoffs, that would be fun.
Defense still atrocious. Need more lucky breaks like that fumble to have any shot.I'm thrilled it's competitive. I think the score is misleading but I'll gladly take it and hope we shock the world.
12 years of Franklin do that to you.Be positive grasshopper.
And run and actually tackle when they have the QB dead to rights and not collapse on third down and on and on.The defense has to stop the pass
I agree. Even if we lose the game, which we may very well, the team is not playing as tight as they did with Franklin.14-17 vs #1… Franklin’s was the problem.
They have to play the dreaded UCLA Bruins, too!It won’t happen, but if OSU lost to us and Michigan they could miss playoffs, that would be fun.
Let’s be honest, if Franklin was still the coach, they would have called that Allen wasn’t in the end zone on that carry.Scoring from the 1 yard line vs OSU is a victory in itself. Weren’t we like 0-11 on last 11 plays from OSU 1?
We scored more points than I thought we could but our issue is Knowles and the lousy defense. Ohio State will turn it on here. Saying is good but of course we make him look like Mahomes.
Balloon (k)not.Need stop here as this could balloon to 31-7 quick
The defense has been the problem this year. One stop away from winning every game we lost except maybe UCLA."This offense is the worst. Why, all you have to do is score a point and we're done."
Offense scores.
"I meant that this defense is the worst. Yeah, that's the ticket."
Eh ... the defense kept us in it when the offense was absolutely atrocious for most of the Oregon game. They finally broke at the end, but they were absolutely exhausted and had done way more than their part to get us to OT.The defense has been the problem this year.

Still have to make a stop when you need one to win the game.Eh ... the defense kept us in it when the offense was absolutely atrocious for most of the Oregon game. They finally broke at the end, but they were absolutely exhausted and had done way more than their part to get us to OT.
But it seems like they kind of never regained their will after breaking to end that game. Up until the ending of that game, they were absolutely nails and made it possible for us to overcome the sputtering offense in the early season games, and the non-existent offense through most of the Oregon game.
